pishta said

Hungarian Great uncle called me Pishta when I was a baby even though it wasn't my name. Passed soon after that but I made him smile according to my Dad. :(. Pista means something like 'meal' , eg. a grain that had been ground....Weird nickname and most of the time misspelled as phista..

My grandfather used to call me Brammetje when I was little
It is Dutch for little Abraham, but has nothing to do with my name (and to the best of my knowledge, I don't have any close relatives by that name, so no idea where he got it from)
Grandma was old-school and believed in the authority of a name and she would get so mad when he called me that
Grandpa died when I was 7 or so but guess what my first born is called?
